2/8/24 Grant F. Smith on the ADL’s Influence over the FBI
Scott is joined by Grant F. Smith to talk about some documents he recently acquired through the Freedom of Information Act that reveal the Anti-Defamation League’s role in teaching FBI agents how to define genocide and civil disobedience. He and Scott discuss the ADL’s history of defining both terms very dishonestly to contemplate what FBI agents are learning.
Discussed on the show:
- “ADL defines genocide and civil disobedience within the FBI” (IRmep)
- “The Anti-Defamation League: Israel’s Attack Dog in the US” (The Nation)
Grant F. Smith is the author of a number of books including Big Israel: How Israel’s Lobby Moves America, Divert!, and most recently The Israel Lobby Enters State Government: Rise of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board.
